Live Show Archives: Paris Pitchfork Fest, 2018
Added 2025-05-31 23:33:07 +0000 UTCGreetings Patreon land! Ethan here for this month's live show archive. Coming once again from the 2018/Naked Giants era, this was right at the time (I think the very day, even) that we released the Twin Fantasy rerecord. I remember this show pretty vividly, as it was pretty late at night, it was dark and cold and we were all pretty bundled up. The stage lights and smoke were very moody and dreamlike as we stepped out (could be crazy but I think we were following PJ Harvey on that stage, which I remember amping me up at the time).
This was a fairly familiar set to us in our Naked Giants-augmented days, but this night has some pretty wild guitar accents from Grant and Gianni, especially Gianni's wild Power Rangersy hammer-ons at the very end of Beach Life. Will's vocals are also pretty muscular and driven on this night; there's always a mysterious, beleaguered sort of second wind that strikes when you go on stage after dark, particularly outdoors.
As always, a tagged album download is linked below. Enjoy!

This one is one of my faves glad I finally have an actual great quality version of the hippie powers performance you guys rocked that one. Btw Ethan, I know I might be late for request but it would be cool maybe for next month or something to do an archive show where you guys perform White ferrari cover of frank ocean mixed with those boys. To have a great quality version of that cover would be my dream I've been obsessed over that song for months so that version would make my day. I think you guys covered a few times but if I'm not wrong one date from when you played it live would be Perth 25/02/2018. So the whole concert would be sick!
Luixo :D
